error messages ruining the aesthetics

[chillmatin]

player works just fine, it just shows some error messages which sort of ruins the experience.

i am using arch linux btw, and pipewire for audio

Yeah, this happens for me too. When I was testing it on my PC I just used an "alternate screen" which just meant the rest of your terminal history (and the errors) wouldn't be visible. I'll probably add a flag which does this, and enable that flag by default on Linux.

The problem is these errors come from rodio, specifically the c library it uses, and so I have no idea how to disable them. I'll look into the latter, but otherwise I'll implement the former later today.

Fixed with https://github.com/talwat/lowfi/commit/fd2d37d6357e9ab113f5970c90cc6aec19057fdf, although I'll keep an eye on this until confirmation.

AUR should be updated relatively soon.

[chillmatin]

wow it got solved pretty quickly. It works like a charm now. Thanks for the chill beats experience!

[chillmatin]

issue still persists

[talwat]

That is very strange... Can you show me lowfi --version?

[talwat]

Well, I've tried to improve the solution, and I've added the --alternate flag as an implementation of the first solution just in case.

I haven't updated the AUR yet, so that could be why. Also yeah I disabled version for some strange reason but that should also now be fixed. My apologies 😅

[chillmatin]

updated the aur package, it works now. just before opening such error pops up but then it returns back looking normal which is fine but can be improved with a flag like --verbose

[chillmatin]

then it turns into this which is great
